If you are an addicted gambler, do something to stop it or you might be like this poor guy.

This news has been making rounds online fir a while now and this just goes to show how addiction can ruin a man's life. The sad part is that 38 innocent souls also went with the gunman who eventually committed suicide. ISIS even went to take responsibility to sow more terror though it's proven that it's really a case of a gambling addict who went broke and gone mad. He actions of one addicted gambler basically affected a lot of lives.

It must be a lesson for us that we must not gamble if we can't afford it. The man is already desperate on her action but the conclusion is why did he steal chips from the casino but suddenly commit suicide.

This is sad and like everyone is saying it's a lesson for all of us , don't gamble what you can't loose and don't borrow to gamble. There are actually people who are not fit to gamble and I think the gaming commissions in our respective countries should check these things and allow only mentally fit people into our casinos.

This is no joke that 42 year old has a bank debt worth 4 million and being addicted to gambling is wrong but getting addicted to gambling with someone else funds is surely not acceptable. I don't really know how will the vank recover their funds but all gamblers please gamble with your own funds not with a loan

That's absolutely true, gambling with someone else's money even shows disrespect to the person and you're not even guaranteed to win so why didn't he invest for let's say 3 months and then make good returns from it and return them to the bank. This is unpardonable and we should all learn from this .

This is absolutely no joke. And yes his debt with the banks may have also contributed to him mentally that's why he do this crazy things. As far as the bank is concern, this is considered lost already. For all we know more people has bigger loans than that and the banks will just simple ignored them. Because they can easily recovered it somewhere. His gambling is really uncontrollable, and I hope everyone should take this as lessons learn and not go to situation of this person.

Addiction is a serious trouble, but this guy is out of control, that is insanity... His family should take care of bank settings and all other financial informations to let him unable to access it, to take borrowed money, etc... Now this man just let a big debt for his family, probably he won't pay anything, but his relatives will have to do.

No if you have a control on yourself like you can use limit set in every bet. it will help you to manage your money so when your money close to empty, You can stop by your own intentions.

Yes,it is easy for you to say that he should put a limit on his gambling.  But what if you're in his position?
If you're more than or too much addicted in gambling, you can not think of those limits. I think it's  too late for him. I just want to say that,if you are not yet addicted in gambling think about what's right for you to avoid compelling this situation.

Definitely not a joke, I agree. It is the time to learn the dangers of gambling from his life. I do see many gamblers here keep on recommending to follow measurements not to get addicted with gambling, but I do see this gambling community is growing rapidly rather than hearing they are staying safer with or without gambling.

Sad. Well this applies only not to gamblers, there's a different type of addiction and it leads the same. If you are a long time gambler then it's hard to control the urge to avoid betting more and more money, if you are a good!bler for about a month and became obsessed in betting money then you should slowly change your attitude cause that can lead to trouble when it became a habit. Being a gambler is hard to avoid these days because we have charity sweeptakes, cockfighting ; what I mean here is that there are many people who are gambling in a legit way but ended up losing their assets. The culture and the surroundings around affects it too as well as how he view life and sadly some people die without realizing that they became succumb to that addiction.

If it is easy to say also on the same while it is necessary to use a limited amount in gambling. Otherwise a lot of sad stories like this are here who destroy their life and faces the financial crises, because of addiction in gambling. Although we have no permanent and perfect solution of addiction but we could try for less addiction and that is if we control ourself in gambling using of money.

Worse thing will happen to us if we become this desperate, we should not allow gambling addiction dictate us, we are in control so we need to make sure we will remain in control whatever the happen when we are gambling. Maybe the problem to some gamblers is they do not accept loses, they think they are good enough to be consistent, they don't know that there are up and down side of gambling so we need to manage both.

I think the more you became addicted to gambling, the more you will be having a depression, you will be having a mental disorder making things that you will not like. Like this guy who attack the Resort's World Manila, this is just so frustrating because many people died and that is just because of an addicted gambler. This story must be a lesson to those who are at the same state of addiction to gambling.

absolutely its inside our own will and the dictation of our greediness is just a false beliefs that we can consistently win with our skills
better to assess before doing an action this gambling world really eat us alive if we don't know how to control with this guy i think
a desperate moves that kills a lots of innocent people.

If you keep checking on this forum you can find everywhere some big lesson from all types of gamblers. Still I do see many new people are getting into gambling and getting suffered by addiction.

It means no one will be ready to learn from others mistakes but want to experience gambling by themselves for any cost. If they follow at least what some pro-gamblers suggesting here, they would have avoided many miserable gambling problems.

Gambling addiction is something quite serious and it is not easy to get rid of. But if you are addicted towards online gambling than there are few things that might help you to limit your losses;
1. Just play for some hours per day.
2. Set limit for both profit and loss for a day.
3. Only deposit what you can afford to loss.
4. Cashout your deposit if you make some profit and only play till you loss those profits.
5. Try to consider gambling is just for fun and not for making money.

He had killed a number of innocent people, his family says that he is not like that and that they can’t imagine that he could do something like that. This is an example of how dangerous being addicted to gambling can be. When someone is addicted, his moral values are somehow covered with the intense feeling of wanting to play. He had done many bad things just because of addiction and it had come to the point that he had to rob a casino because he is already mentally ill. This is the worst scenario that I have heard and watched about how addiction can make affect someone’s mind.

His debts in the banks, the bank may not seem to care but I think that the family he left are going to suffer because of this.

[jossiel]

Condolence to the victims. This guy is hopeless, because of having a lot of debt. Assuming $75,000? Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's a lot and he don't know on how he's going to pay those debt from people who's looking for him.

I feel bad for those innocent people that was affected by the rage of the suspect.

[masterwakokok7]

This one of the reason why we should control our gambling. The gunman actually do have a bright future since he is working at Department of Finance, but since as we all know Philippine Government is really full of corruption. Unfortunately, he got fired due to alleged anomalous transactions and Also due to undeclared/unexplained wealth.

He actually didn't kill anybody, He just injured some of them but not that critical. Most of the deaths was caused by suffocation due to smoke and also the stampede cause by panicking people. Normally in gambling, Banks are out the picture. Gamblers in RWM do have the so called High Rollers who are known as the loan sharks of the casinos. They lend money to those gamblers who probably are losing so that whenever they win they could earn from them via interest.

Thanks for further explanation since im not really familiar completely on what happen on that incident. He didnt kill anybody but still counted since hes the cause of such suffocation of the victims. Its really sad to think off that he wasted his own life for the sake of money and thats really a severe problem on debts, this is the thing will mostly be experienced if we let our gambling addiction comes to a point that we cant control already.

For him also it was easier, if he was doing with some conscious just for the reason of his happier life. Limiting ourselves must be a primary principle every gambler must follow regardless of how big bankroll he is engaging for gambling.

Because you may lose all your bankroll in a day if you are not conscious about limiting your gambling activity. Some gamblers do not care all these limitations for their gambling due to the reason of having big money to gamble. They do easily get addicted and will lose all their money at one stage for sure.

I was read before that he killed 2 person prior to going to Resorts World Manila. Kindly someone enlighten me if this is correct. Maybe the guy really thinks the Resorts World was really to blame for all what has happened to him. And the easiest way to get back at him is to storm the casino. But unfortunately, his action cost other lives as well, including his. It is really sad to see someone being addicted to gambling and ending his life just for the sake of solving all his problems.

[eternalgloom]

The ironic thing is that he also worked for the department of finance, perhaps he had a way to get more money than a regular person would?
I mean, he's 4 million in debt... Must've been really addicted to have let it escalate like that.

The article doesn't mention if it was 4 million dollars or Philipino currency.
